The Michelson interferometer can be used to measure the index of refraction of a gas by placing an evacuated transparent tube in the light path along one arm of the device. Fringe shifts occur as the gas is slowly added to the tube. In this problem one fringe shift is defined to mean from a bright pattern to the next dark pattern and not bright to dark and back again to a bright, which would be two fringe shifts. These fringe shifts occur because the wavelength of the light changes inside the gas filled tube. Assume that 609 nm light is used, the tube is 4.9 cm long, and that 324 fringe shifts occur as the pressure of the gas in the tube increases to atmospheric pressure. Calculate ngas, the index of refraction of

A23 kg log of wood begins from rest, 300 m up a sluice (a water track used to transport logs, think of it as an inclined plane with negligible friction) inclined at 20° to the horizontal. after it reaches the flat waterway at the bottom it collides elastically with a 100 kg block of wood initially at rest near the base of the incline. (a) how long does it take the 23 kg log to travel down the incline? (b) what is the speed of the 23 kg log at the bottom of the incline? (c) what are the velocities of both blocks of wood after the collision? (d) what is the total kinetic energy before the collision? (e) what is the kinetic energy of the 23 kg log after the collision? (f) what is the kinetic energy of the 100 kg block of wood after the collision? (g) what is the total kinetic energy after the collision? (h) compare the total initial and total final kinetic energies. is this consistent with what you would expect for elastic collisions? explain!
